Chapter 50

Under Zhe's superb driving skills, the three of them soon arrived at the Random Play residence. Ye Qingfeng had expected Zhe and Ling to continue their conflict.

As it turned out, the two behaved quite normally. The look in Zhe's eyes when he looked at him was much clearer, and Ling wasn't as bold as she had been, though she would still steal glances at him from time to time.

All in all, Ye Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. The situation at the time was truly terrifying; he never wanted to encounter it again in his life.

After getting out of the car, Zhe helped carry a bag, following quietly behind Ye Qingfeng.

He recalled the previous situation and wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He truly couldn't understand why he had behaved that way.

And the thoughts he had at the time—thinking about them now made his hair stand on end and gave him goosebumps all over. If anyone else found out about this, he would definitely run off to a Hollow alone and let himself perish.

Becoming an Ethereal would be better... it would be better than social death...

Ling followed silently by Ye Qingfeng's side, though she kept a small distance.

For Ling, what had happened not long ago was still a bit too bold...

When she saw her brother covering Ye Qingfeng's mouth, she had actually thought about waiting until Ye Qingfeng was nearly out of breath before stepping in to help. He would surely have trouble standing due to oxygen deprivation then.

That was when she could take advantage of the situation! Make Ye Qingfeng fall onto her!

The development of events went exactly as she had expected, and she took this opportunity to have intimate contact with Ye Qingfeng.

In a roundabout way, it was equivalent to Ye Qingfeng hugging her, both of them feeling each other's warmth, his hot breath hitting her body.

Thinking about that feeling now, Ling's body began to heat up, and her nasal cavity felt itchy. If nothing went wrong, a smear of bright red blood would flow out in the next second.

She urgently stopped the thoughts in her mind, though her fair face was still stained with a blush.

Ye Qingfeng brought the pair of siblings, Zhe and Ling, who had been unusually silent along the way, and finally arrived at his residence.

"Bang bang—!"

Ye Qingfeng looked at the setting sun and knocked hard on the door.

Soon, Anbi hopped over and opened the door. She poked her head out, ignored the other two, and stared at Ye Qingfeng with her bright, innocent eyes.

Stare—! (●ˇ? ˇ●)

"Uh... Anbi?"

Ye Qingfeng stared back at Anbi for a good while, but seeing no movement from her, he had to be the first to speak: "Can you move aside and let us in?"

"Hmm... Burger!"

Ye Qingfeng smiled helplessly. As expected, Anbi was still so... so innocent?

He recalled Anbi's performance in the Hollow: the sharp gaze, the elegant movements, the precise strikes.

He couldn't equate the innocent and cute Anbi now with her at that time.

However, her serious attitude was only directed at Ethereals and enemies; most of the time, she was still that cute and dazed Anbi.

"No problem! I'll make you burgers tonight!"

Ye Qingfeng reached out and pinched Anbi's cheek gently.

After receiving Ye Qingfeng's reply, Anbi decisively moved aside and said blankly, "Qingfeng is the best."

Then she ran away in a flash.

It really is impossible to tell what Anbi is thinking...

"Haha... Anbi is just like that." Ye Qingfeng explained to the two who had been waiting behind him for a long time, then greeted them to enter, "Alright! Come on in, don't be polite."

Ling: "Excuse the intrusion!"

Zhe: "Excuse the intrusion."

As soon as Ling entered, she looked around like a curious baby, while Zhe behaved very politely, taking the initiative to ask if he needed to take off his shoes.

"No need, just come right in!"

Ye Qingfeng also didn't change his shoes and walked straight in. Currently, he was the only one in this house who hadn't taken off his shoes...

Thinking about it makes one feel pitiful!

"Is that Qing... Phaethon?!"

Nicole, sitting on the sofa, heard the movement at the door and thought Ye Qingfeng had returned. She happened to be hungry, but she didn't expect to see the Phaethon siblings walking toward her as soon as she turned her head.

She was quite surprised by their arrival.

"Why are you guys here?!"

Nicole quickly returned to her original calm, silently pulling back the legs she had rested on the coffee table.

"Let's get this straight! No matter what method you used to get Qingfeng to bring you here, Random Play really has no Dennies to pay you for the commission fee right now."

"Haha... rest assured, we aren't here to ask you for a commission fee."

Zhe walked to an empty sofa and asked with his eyes if he could sit down. After receiving Nicole's nod of agreement, he placed a large bag of mackerel cans on the coffee table before sitting on the sofa quite casually.

After all, this was someone else's house; Zhe couldn't behave as casually as Ling. However, since they were all acquaintances and Nicole still owed them a commission fee, he didn't need to be too polite.

"You bought so many mackerel cans as a gift for visiting?" Nicole picked up a mackerel can and looked at it, then continued without lifting her head: "Do you take me for a Thiren cat? Oh—! It's because mackerel cans are on sale, right?"

Nicole wasn't the type to be superficially polite either. Knowing that Zhe hadn't come all this way to demand Dennies, she wasn't afraid at all!

"If this really is my gift for visiting, Nicole's guess is pretty close!"

Zhe looked around for Ling and finally saw her in the kitchen. Only after confirming her location did he continue:

"But these were all bought by Qingfeng. Speaking of which, we came too hurriedly and didn't bring a gift. How about I make it up to you next time?"

"Don't even think about it!" Nicole rolled her eyes at Zhe, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Just give me a discount on the commission fee."

Nicole refused Zhe's proposal without even thinking. Besides giving her a sum of Dennies next time, she didn't need anything else. It would be better to take this opportunity to make him discount the commission fee.

"No problem."

Zhe agreed without a second thought.

If it were just him and his sister visiting alone, no matter how much Nicole sweet-talked, he wouldn't agree. After all, he and Ling also needed to eat!

But since it was Qingfeng who invited him over for a meal, he didn't mind giving him some face—of course, not Nicole's!

She had no credibility here... alright...

Considering she called a doctor at the time, she still had a tiny bit of credibility.

Of course, the most important thing was that Zhe thought about being able to eat the food Ye Qingfeng cooked himself in a moment, and his mood was quite good right now.

"Hey! You..." Nicole looked at Zhe with furrowed brows, "What are you up to?"

It wasn't that Nicole hadn't thought Zhe would agree, but she hadn't expected him to agree so decisively. Without even thinking, he must have some ulterior motive.

"I wonder if Nicole would like to make this commission fee free?"

Zhe revealed a wicked smile, reached out, and made a rubbing gesture in front of Nicole.

Nicole quickly shrank back, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and looked at Zhe as if he were trash.
